How does cleaning of the heat exchanger work? From my experience with Jaccuzzi-style baths anything that recirculates bathwater gets very nasty very quick and is a nightmare to clean.
- dathinab 2mo agoin Japan you tend to shower & wash yourself clean _before_ getting into any bath. In the west people don't do it or do it very half asset. And tbh. a lot of places have combined bath/shower so you kinda can't even do it Japanese style nicely. That alone probably will make a huge difference in how often you have to deep clean it.

- masklinn 2mo ago> you kinda can't even do it Japanese style nicely. I mean you can as long as you make the bathroom a wet room and shower outside the tub, which is exactly how the Japanese do it.
- bigstrat2003 2mo agoYes. But then those wouldn't be the places which GP was talking about, where the shower head is set up so you stand in the bath tub to take a shower.
- masklinn 2mo agoI’ve used a bunch where the shower head is on a hose not fixed to the wall. Usually with a two-way faucet. The biggest issue in the west is the room being wet to start with.
- dathinab 2mo agomy point is most _rented apartments_ are not setup like that and do not provide a reasonable path to have it most owned apartments also are not build in a way where it's easy to retrofit. So if you don't do a "in depth" renovation anyway, its often just not a good option from a financial POV. Especially if you have to reroute plumbing (for the floor level wet room sink), especially if beton floor or pre-existing floor heating is involved.
